How to work – when (pretty much) everyone’s at home

“This potentially presents an opportunity to move the culture forward in terms of empathy, transparency and the way that people can work together. I think it’s a chance to take stock and to really think about who you are as an organization and how you want to be working together as a community.”

– Steve Bynghall, DWG

Working from home is increasingly becoming a forced necessity rather than a personal choice around the world. Not only is home working a new experience for many people, the circumstances in which they are working and living are unprecedented.

Joining Paul Miller are Shimrit Janes, Director of Knowledge; Steve Bynghall, Knowledge and Research Lead; and Andrea Brant, Account Manager, all from DWG. Together they discuss ways in which remote working can be approached from an individual, team and organizational level; how this crisis has the potential to change company culture; and what opportunities there may be for work in the wake of COVID-19.
